Newcastle United vs Manchester City: FA Cup fifth round preview

City will play away from the Etihad Stadium for the first time in the FA Cup this season. Home draws against Exeter City in the third round and Salford City in the fourth didn't stretch Pep Guardiola's team. The fifth round should.

Newcastle had to overcome Premier League opponents in both of the two previous rounds. Bournemouth took them to a penalty shoot-out but they overpowered a poor Aston Villa team at Villa Park last time out.

The Magpies also smashed their way through Qarabag in their knock-out round in the Champions League. With home advantage, Eddie Howe will fancy their cup football muscle memory to take them through.

► How to watch FA Cup live streams from anywhere in 2025/26

This will be the fifth meeting between these teams in 2025-26. Newcastle won the first of them in the Premier League in November but City came out on top in the reverse fixture and both legs of the Carabao Cup semi-final.

City might have eyes for the Premier League title and Champions League but the FA Cup should be on Guardiola's hit list too.

Two wins in a decade of management is good going by any normal standard but his team have enjoyed dominant spells in the other domestic competitions and City have been unable to make the most of a run of three consecutive finals.

Losing back-to-back finals seems like exactly the kind of thing that might motivate a manager to go at a competition with full force. Newcastle will need to meet that head-on if they're to book a place in the last eight.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Newcastle United 2-1 Manchester City

Man City have won the last three against the Magpies but we're predicting a repeat of the meeting before them.
